She's just so genuine and straight ahead.  Happy for her.

"When I was told I made it, it was so exciting because it's always been a goal and important to me to play on the national team and play against the best competition in the world," Tuck said. "It just made me feel that everything I've been through -- particularly these last couple of years -- had been worth it. I did question it, sometimes, if I would be able to get there and if I would get that opportunity. After having five knee surgeries, you have to wonder.

"But when I was named to the national team pool last year, it re-lit a fire inside of me that, yeah, I can play for them and I can do this. Everything that I had worked for was leading towards this. Ever since I started playing for USA Basketball with its youth teams, playing in the Olympics has been a goal of mine. This isn't the Olympics, but it's close. I'm so happy and excited to be here playing for USA."
